Facultative Reinsurance Broker: Precision Placement Across African and Global Markets
When a risk exceeds your treaty parameters or demands individual market attention, the quality of your facultative reinsurance placement becomes a decisive factor in your portfolio’s performance. Reinsurance Solutions provides responsive, technically rigorous facultative broking for complex, large, and non-standard risks across the full spectrum of commercial and specialty classes.
Our facultative capability is built on two pillars: deep Pan-African market knowledge and unrivalled access to global reinsurance capacity. From our operational hubs in Mauritius, Nairobi, Abidjan, Johannesburg, Lusaka, Kigali, and London, we negotiate placements with the speed, documentation standards, and underwriting clarity that both cedants and capacity providers require.
Structuring Complex Capacity for Ceding Companies
Risk Assessment and Market Strategy
We do not circulate slips broadly and wait for responses. We curate our approach to ensure that each submission is positioned for the strongest possible outcome, supported by the data and narrative that sophisticated capacity providers expect.

Global Negotiation and Placement Execution
This dual capability, global market reach combined with on-the-ground African expertise, allows us to secure terms and pricing that purely London-based or purely regional brokers cannot consistently achieve.
Our Regional Expertise and Lines of Business
Property
Commercial, industrial, and residential property risks including large single-site exposures, portfolio placements, and catastrophe-exposed assets. We structure facultative property covers that address the specific peril profiles of African territories, from fire and allied perils to natural catastrophe exposures.
Engineering
Construction all risks (CAR), erection all risks (EAR), contractors’ plant and machinery, and operational engineering risks. Africa’s infrastructure development pipeline generates substantial engineering exposures, and our team understands the technical underwriting requirements that define this class.
Energy
Upstream and downstream energy risks including oil and gas exploration, production facilities, refineries, pipelines, and renewable energy installations. Our energy placement team navigates the specialised markets and technical standards this class demands.
Marine
Hull, cargo, and marine liability placements for the shipping, logistics, and trade sectors. With Africa’s growing role in global commodity flows, marine risk placement requires both technical depth and familiarity with regional trade patterns.
Aviation
Aircraft hull and liability, airline placements, airport operators’ liability, and aviation product liability. Our aviation practice accesses specialist London and global markets where capacity for this class is concentrated.
Liability
General liability, products liability, employers’ liability, and excess liability programmes. We place liability covers that reflect the evolving legal and regulatory environment across multiple African jurisdictions.
Professional and Financial Lines
Directors’ and officers’ liability, professional indemnity, errors and omissions, and cyber liability. These classes are becoming increasingly important as African businesses face more complex operational and governance exposures.
Political and Social Risks
Political violence, terrorism, strikes, riots, and civil commotion. Operating across diverse African markets gives our team direct insight into the geopolitical and social risk factors that shape these placements.
High-Value Personal Accident and High Risks
Large personal accident covers, high-net-worth individual risks, and other elevated exposure placements that require specialist market access and bespoke structuring.
Transport and Distribution Lines
Goods in transit, logistics operator liability, and supply chain protection. As African trade corridors expand, these placements require brokers who understand both the physical and commercial risks involved.
Other Niche and Specialty Products
We maintain the flexibility to place non-standard or emerging classes of business that fall outside traditional categories. Our team’s experience across diverse African and international markets means we can source capacity for risks that other brokers may struggle to accommodate.
